No, but I can tell you a useless fact about the census
because up here we have a language question, as do the Welshers, and you lot don't, your census simply has no question 17 and moves straight from 16 to 18. How many of you noticed?

I NO RITE?
Who's going to phone up the Government in a blind panic over it?

"OMG There's supposed to be a sign on that lamp post, but it's gone! IT MUST HAVE BEEN STOLEN, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO HERE?" or "Holy shit, there's a BLANK SPACE ON THE CENSUS, what do I do? For the love of God, WHAT DO I DO?"

The really sad thing is, I've realised, is that apparently this has not only happened, but happened so often that they've had to alert us to the fact that they're supposed to be blank. There's no hope for Humanity.

I saw an overhead motorway sign on the M8 the other day
one of those dot matrix jobs. It said "remember to keep your winscreen clear" - not clean, clear. I think, on balance, if you have to be reminded that driving forwards is indeed aided by being able to fucking see in front of you, then perhaps piloting 2 tons of metal at arond 30 metres per second is probably a wee bit beyond your skills.

I'd weep for the future of the species, if I had any tears left to weep.
Besides, crying all the time's unmanly and also really fucking boring.

_everyone_ badger, _everyone_.... weeks ago.
This is like in cooking shows when they proudly tell you a tomarto is a fruit, a banana is a nut or some other 'fact' that everyone else who's watching that show knows.

Thanks!

It's Odin, son, and don't you forget it.
None of those Greek fleet of Berties.

The pantheon of Olympus being described as a "Greek fleet of Berties"
has made me officelol harder than anything else so far today
